I was trying to see if I could be of any help on the project site... I wanted to contribute. FYI..

Great job Reik! And many thanks for helping out. You can check out his experience about writing the plug-in here. To read abut the plug-in visit the Hudson repository of plugins here. To find out more about the Testability Explorer read the OOPSLA paper here. [...] [...] Many thanks to Reik Schatz who has writen a  Testability Explorer plug-in for Hudson. Great job Reik!

Alternatively, one could encourage test-first (followed by test-driven) development. Which also has additional benefits in design thinking and interaction with users. Having to write the test before the code is a powerful disincentive to writing code that is hard to test. Having to retrofit tests, and worse yet having to re-write your code so that it is easier to retrofit tests seems like a disincentive to both testing and writing testable code. Since you're interested in quantifying aspects of code to do with testing, you might be intersted in my on-going research, http://peripateticaxiom.blogspot.com/2006/05/complexity-and-test-first-0.html et seq, which is summarised here http://www.keithbraithwaite.demon.co.uk/professional/presentations/2008/qcon/MeasureForMeasure.pdf Very nice.
